Join Cell Phone Projectors May Start with the iPhone
I think there may be a market for projectors on a cellular phones, and wouldn’t be surprised it becomes a standard feature. The technology is still young, but it might soon be a reality.
Projectors might not be ready to be put inside all cell phones just yet, but a projector for a specific cellular phone might be here sooner than we think.
A company known as Honlai Technology unveiled a model of a portable projector for the iPhone at Computex 2008. I guess 3G isn’t enough for the big Mac, they have to have a projector to go along with it. I guess Mr. iPhone just has to have more. (There’s a double meaning here. Read the label on the projector in the picture and you’ll get it, trust me.)

Softbank 923SH Mobile Phone
I have to admit that I am a fan of those types of phones like the Sidekick which can flip out their screens for a horizontal read. So I was naturally attracted to the 923SH, one of ten new phones to come out from Softbank.
The first question I had to ask was how does the phone on the left fold up to the phone on the right? Clearly, Softbank has some folding technology that I do not know about.
The display on the 923SH is something that we do know about. It uses Sharp’s unique AQUOS LCD panel, technology that we reported about with the SE94 Series. Clearly, this HDTV technology has somehow been miniaturized, and this display is capable of many, many colors.
This phone is capable of recording video content. It features a 29mm wide-angle lens, and can record at 15 fps (Frame per second) and 30 fps.
